For fees is that reimbursements too? So if your reimbursement is £10 and your fee £10 (if only!) then you're counting that as £20 or £10?

just curious! I don't have time to do many jobs as working full time and away quite a few weekends, so only like to do about a max of 8-10 a month.

i havent counted any reimbursements at all. They have ranged from £3 to £40 but i have only been counting the fees.

I would count that as a positive. I am not doubting your word but we all know what RE's fees are. So your remaining jobs you got around £30 a job for. At least.

the golden arches is a blessing yes ! my fitness has never been better lol.
The fees have ranged from £5-25 per visit depending on the client and company. i try and get groups of jobs from different companies together for an area, so i wont go for one £5 job, but i will go for 3 or 4 that are close by, it then become worth while as the mileage and costs can be spread across them.

i work a bit from home and also some in the evenings at different client sites so have time during the day to do these MS visits

Your fees are very good considering that we're only on the 10th day of the month. Do you do this fulltime and can you make a decent salary monthly doing it?

the fees listed below, include jobs for this month that I have yet to do.

I only have 2 jobs booked past the 14th though

Is the reimbursement for the Spanish restaurant on RE a good amount or are the meals going to be super expensive. I've never been there before and have wanted to try it but I can't really afford to be eating out so I thought this would be a good way for us to have a meal out, but now I'm wondering if the reimbursement covers the meal. We're suppose to get at least 3 items and then some wine. Has anyone done one of these before?

IIRC Becles has a good job title idea!

Hi Creaker, I have been to this restaurant a lot and have also done a MS there in January. The reimbursement is a little less than it was then, I took a friend for her birthday and we had 3 glasses of wine and a diet coke as well as about 6 dishes and olives and bread too. It came to £40 plus a tip. I feel that we ordered too much food and as we had two drinks each it was above an average spend for a MS.

I have bagged the March one as well and am so pleased as I think the reimbursement is still generous enough for a great meal and it's my birthday this time!

They do have a website so you can have a look at the prices there I think. The small dishes are about £3-£5 each if that helps. A little tip for this restaurant that I find useful is to take some 5p pieces and use them to mark the menu so that you can remember what dishes you want to order IYSWIM, otherwise it can get complicated.

HTH, enjoy your meal.

i havent done one or seen one a brief but i recall this being covered on here before, click on the
"search this thread" and type in spanish restaurant and it should show up all previous posts to do with it

hope this helps

creaker - re spainish jobs, take a look at the restaurant's website and do the sums from there, thats what i usually do. Do you have to order mains or the small dishes this place does, if its the small dishes then the reimbursement should be enough.
Yes, this was discussed a while back. Just had a quick look:
glass of wine is approx £5
small dishes aprrox £5 each
WL: i like the business consultant - i'll be using that one.
